Keysight 85093C RF Electronic Calibration Module

Overview

The Keysight 85093C is an RF electronic calibration module that provides fast and accurate calibration for vector network analyzers. Unlike traditional mechanical calibration kits that require multiple manual connections and operator interaction, the 85093C uses electronic calibration (ECal) with a single connection and automated software control. This approach reduces calibration time by more than half while maintaining accuracy comparable to mechanical methods and eliminates connector wear through solid-state switching.

Key Features

• 300 kHz to 9 GHz frequency range
• Fast full two-port calibration with a single connection
• Simple non-insertable device calibration
• NIST-traceable accurate calibrations
• Reduced connector wear
• USB interface for direct control with PNA and ENA series network analyzers
• Reliable solid-state switching
• Mixed connector options available (3.5 mm, Type-N 50 ohm, and 7-16)

Applications

• Vector network analyzer calibration and verification
• RF and microwave device characterization
• Production test environments
• Laboratory and field calibration
